I need some cichlid experts

[Sorrell]

Here's one of my Salvinis. Look how fat he/she is! Is this obesity or eggs? Please excuse the two flashy intruders in the picture.

Here's one more, this time there's a firemouth looking on "Have you thought about cutting carbs?"

Maybe she should say no to the gravy for the next few times...... )

im not an expert but i dont think she is (maybe you arefeeding her to much?)

 

[Sorrell]

I do feed that tank good food...they get all frozen and hikari, but I fast them two days a week, so I am just puzzled. I guess I'll watch when I fast them and see if it goes down. I worry about holding food from them though because that new eel is actually eating and I want it to stay that way.

Has she started digging or cleaning an area near her cave? Thats usually a good sign. How big is your tank? How do the firemouth and sal get along?

 

[Sorrell]

I haven't noticed any digging or anything. The tank is a 150 and everyone gets along fine.
